Endless work days, sweltering temperatures and no unionization. It's not a sweatshop—it's a shipping center.

Last week, Re/code reported that an Amazon worker died on the job in New Jersey, while another was hospitalized in California. Years after an undercover journalist revealed the brutal life inside a storehouse and a Pennsylvania reporter interviewed dozens of distressed workers from an Allentown warehouse, mistreatment in the online shipping industry persists.

Re/code reported that last month, a female worker was treated after her hand was caught in a conveyor belt. Three days early, a New Jersey man was crushed and killed by equipment at his temp job in a warehouse owned by Genco, a third-party operative for Amazon. The government Occupational Safety and Health Administration is investigating both incidents. 

Despite reports of safety issues, including 100-degree-temperatures, required overtime and massive quotas that pressure employees into working through exhaustion and injury, Amazon workers in Delaware voted against creating the first union in the company last month. While a company spokesperson said that the vote indicated that Amazon's employees preferred direct connections, a spokesperson for the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers told CNN that workers were told in individual meetings why they did not need union representatives. 

"The workers at Amazon faced intense pressure from managers and anti-union consultants hired to suppress this organizing drive," John Carr told CNN.
